WHY MUST WE MEASURE NH3?
💥 Ammonia is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula NH3. In nature, ammonia is created from excretion and decaying organisms. The harmful effects of NH3 are:
✖️ Inhalation: Ammonia is corrosive. Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in the air causes burns to the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. This can damage the airways leading to respiratory failure. Inhalation of lower concentrations can cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and eye irritation causing watery eyes.
✖️ Direct contact: Exposure to concentrated ammonia can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, throat, lungs. Burns can cause permanent blindness, lung diseases, or death.
✖️ Ingestion: Accidentally eating or drinking concentrated ammonia can cause burns to the mouth, throat and stomach, severe stomach pain, vomiting.
✖️ There is no evidence that ammonia causes cancer. There is no evidence that exposure to concentrations of ammonia found in the environment causes birth defects or other developmental effects.
🚨 With the above information, you probably know why we need to measure NH3 in places where it is a potential threat, right?
